MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

That the manager reports on how residents can apply to have speed ramps installed in their estates.

REPLY:

The Council's Policy on Traffic Calming is to move away from vertical traffic calming measures such as ramps. Horizontal traffic calming such as junction tightening, traffic calming islands and footpath buildouts is favoured in current policy documents in line with DMURS. Traffic calming applications can be made by submitting a "Traffic Calming Application Form" which is available on the the Council's website. Each location submitted will be reviewed and, if appropritate, a suitable traffic calming mechanism will be installed once funding and resources allow.
